Income generation for community infrastructure purposes does not form a material consideration in planning decisions. Children and young people are our future, and we are determined to give them the very best start in life. Creating sustainable rural villages and settlements, Local Plan 2020 Phase 1 Issues and Approaches. In order to have sufficient information to be able to assess the complex effects that can arise from NSIPs over the significant number of years of construction and operation, plans for monitoring of the effects of the project should be set out in the Environmental Statement. Along with other relevant policies in the plan, this policy will be a material consideration in engaging with the site licensee, NDA and the NNB promoter, other potential developers and providing pre-application advice, assessing and determining individual planning applications, as well as responding to other notifications and consultations related to the decommissioning of Oldbury power station. Topic-based policies might also cover detailed issues, like transport management, or how standards in relation to carbon reduction in new developments are required, or specific design principles in relation to extensions. This Council Plan maintains our focus on being an efficient and innovative organisation, working closely with our communities and partners to shape and improve the outcomes and prospects for South Gloucestershire, our residents and businesses. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The layout integrates with existing or permitted adjacent development and connects with the wider network of foot, cycle and public transport links, including Public Rights of Way and strategic green infrastructure corridors/routes; b) Safe and sustainable access to existing and proposed Key Services & Facilities is provided or enhanced, through a range of transport options, giving priority to sustainable travel modes, such as walking and cycling; c) Permeable space(s) and accessible route(s) through a development have been created, allowing clear, safe, and direct movement, taking account of desire lines where appropriate; and. Economic health South Gloucestershires Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018 was 12,865m, ranking us 11th highest GDP of all local authorities in England outside of London. However there are also other NNB technologies being developed including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and nuclear fusion through the Governments Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP). As Work collaboratively with a project promoter to agree and ensure delivery of an appropriate evidence base to inform the development of sustainable NNB and associated development proposals as well as Council assessments , and. Although the current climate would suggest that this may be a reversing trend it is also clear that for many, the private car will remain the primary option of travel in the short to medium term at least. It should achieve this by being Certified Passivhaus (or equivalent), which includes a renewable source of energy for heating and hot water and incorporates renewable energy generation technology, or through meeting the following criteria sequentially: a) Minimising demand for heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and power through building and site level measures; thenb) Meeting the residual heat demand through connection to a classified heat network or renewable heat sources; thenc) Meeting residual cooling demand sustainably sequentially through:i) passive cooling measures;ii) mechanical ventilation; and finallyiii) active renewable measures; thend) Maximising on-site renewable energy generation; and then, if necessary,e) Offsetting any remaining residual carbon emissions via a contribution to a carbon offsetting project or fund within South Gloucestershire. In its role either as determining authority for planning applications, or as consultee for applications to other bodies, the Council will take into consideration the nature, scale, extent and potential impact of any development proposal, and seek to ensure that: Development proposals align where relevant with the West of England Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) and make a positive contribution to the delivery of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan, the Joint Local Transport Plan and other supporting and/or relevant plans and strategies, including neighbourhood plans; and, A strategic and integrated approach is taken to the location, planning, design, phasing and delivery of NSIPs and their associated infrastructure and/or development so that it maximises positive social, economic and environmental outcomes, minimises negative impacts, and secures appropriate community and legacy benefits, and. For both residential and non-residential development, a sequential approach is set out in Clause 1 of the policy to guide the steps needed to achieve the 100% carbon emissions reduction requirement. Different standards for different parts of the district? can demonstrate wider environmental benefits associated with increased production of energy from renewable or low carbon sources; orc. Firstly, the need to ensure that energy consumption is minimised through building and site level design measures must be addressed. Once a DCO and its constituent development strategy, phasing and supporting infrastructure proposals have been consented, any NSIP related development proposals/ amendments or related applications will be assessed against the DCO and in combination with the overall development proposals. Further information on the SGC Accessibility Assessment calculation will be brought forward through a revised Parking Standards SPD. This includes the integration where feasible of NNB with the decommissioning of the existing station, including the reuse of previously developed land, facilities and materials thereby reducing the extent of greenfield land needed for NNB and minimising the scale and extent of built form in the rural Levels and estuary landscape and seascape. They should make sufficient provision for: They also provide a clear starting point for more detailed non-strategic policies that are needed to address a wide range of issues. It will include where. It was also clear that whilst the fundamental priorities for the coming years will remain constant, our approach to meeting them will remain responsive and as such, this is a live and evolving document.Specifically, you have told us that you would like to see how the Plan supports our response to the Climate Emergency and the growing inequality gaps in our society. The need to protect habitats and species associated with the international designations on the estuary, including the seasonal presence of migratory species, may also constrain the timing, phasing and nature of decommissioning related activities and works. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is clear in that Permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions. The public consultation on our plan to introduce restrictions on the rights of homeowners to convert existing housing into houses in multiple occupation in the Stoke Park and Cheswick ward, and parts of the Filton ward closed on 31 January 2023. Pro-actively address issues of public concern both actual and perceived. Ensure dovetailing of arrangements between the Magnox and NNB sites. Consider NNB Emergency Planning in the context of development proposals for the surrounding area. The use of larger windows for habitable rooms will be supported; d) The orientation and siting of buildings contribute to the definition of the public realm and the visual quality of the street scene, where building facades and front doors face the street, to promote overlooking and activity within the public realm. These will be addressed by other policies in the plan. In recognition of the burden and disturbance borne by the community in hosting some Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, the Council will where appropriate require packages of community benefits to be provided by the developer to offset and compensate the community for the burden imposed by hosting the project. Pollution We are committed to reducing. Given the importance of decommissioning the existing station, and the potential benefits of reusing the brownfield land to reduce the overall impact of NNB, when considering land use proposals at the existing Oldbury power station site, priority will sequentially be given to meeting the needs of: Decommissioning; Nuclear new build proposals; Other employment and/or green energy related uses. Our approaches to strategic growth policies will be informed by the emerging sub-regional Spatial Development Strategy and supporting evidence base. The use of rear parking courts often results in an inefficient use of land, and can result in valuable private amenity space being lost. Small Businesses Highly entrepreneurial in the year to December 2019, 1,568 new small businesses started up in the district. We have provided examples of how we will put the priorities and commitments into action and we are backing each commitment with a bespoke action plan, setting out what we will do and how you will know we are delivering value for money services, which are making a difference for your community. Renewable heat refers to the generation of heat from renewable sources including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, former mine workings and biomass. Every day our staff and councillors speak with residents, businesses and other partners and these conversations helped shape our initial thinking and priorities. We offer an advice service for developers and landowners to meet with us to discuss your Local Plan representations. Proposals will be considered more favourably where they achieve 2 or more of the following criteria: a. We want to ensure that all South Gloucestershire residents lead safe and healthy lives and that they enjoy good quality health and social care which focuses on their individual needs and enables them to retain their independence. All land use, development, demolition and waste planning proposals should be set within the context of an agreed strategic masterplan. Acceptable development proposal(s) must demonstrate that; a) The siting, form, scale, height, massing, detailing, colour and materials of the development respect, and are informed by, the positive locally-distinctive qualities of both the site and its surrounding context; and. Policies Sites and Places Plan policy PSP16: Parking Standards, Use Classes Order (September 2020) update. Meeting the needs of our Gypsy/ Traveller & TravellingShowpeoplecommunities, 8. We will build on this strength, forging new partnerships and enhancing established relationships. Life expectancy varies considerably across South Gloucestershire. By 2019 this had risen to 46. The Local Plan was adopted at Full Council on 22 July 2015. There are a wide range of built and landscape characters which exist within South Gloucestershire, ranging from mature urban locations, such as, Staple Hill, Kingswood, Hanham, post war suburban areas such as Filton, Bradley Stoke, newer communities at Charlton Hayes and Stoke Gifford, market Towns with different characters and wide range of villages set within different rural contexts. Note: Regulations are continuously reviewed and the status of the site may change in future. 1. And fulfilling the Councils post consent role, including in determining: Planning applications for Oldbury New Nuclear Build power station, related development made to the Council Post consent applications for discharge of DCO requirements and planning conditions. This is currently scheduled to take place in late 2023. The Phase 2 consultation ran from 7 February 2022 to 4 April 2022. This will need to include a new strategy and policies to guide and manage growth and change in. It is therefore considered important that a policy framework for a proposed NNB project at Oldbury should be developed in conjunction with the overall policy for South Gloucestershire, and that this policy should address ways of working as well as relevant considerations, constraints and opportunities relevant to the NNB. The development plan sets out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land in South Gloucestershire. The response from staff, business and residents has been incredible and has epitomised what South Gloucestershire has done well for many years, pulling together our skills, expertise, and commitment to support and strengthen our local communities. It is proposed that the policy looks at a zoning approach to allow for reduced car parking provision in areas which are demonstrably well connected with ample opportunities for walking and cycling access to key services and facilities as well as good public transport provision. The regulation and permitting of radioactive waste is the responsibility of the Office For Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency. Doing so would help meet the Councils carbon reduction and renewable energy generation targets set out in emerging Local Plan 2020 policy Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. There are many strands to the inequality challenge and we must work with partners in health and education, with voluntary and community groups and directly with local people to first identify those at greatest need and to then put in place timely and appropriate support, ensuring that mechanisms, guidance and pathways to further education, employment and career progression etc. Do you agree with our proposed policy approach? The strategies for dealing with the different levels of waste vary according to their radioactivity characteristics, with higher activity wastes such as nuclear fuel having already been removed off site, intermediate level wastes being treated and packaged at Oldbury prior to being moved to Berkeley for long term storage until such time as a national geological disposal facility is available. These documents contain a wide range of adopted planning policies, and will be used to determine planning applications until they are replaced. Communities are becoming more aware of the need for renewable energy development proposals in light of climate change and the move towards a low carbon economy. As a council we have sometimes shied-away from highlighting the impacts of our work and what we have achieved, and at the heart of this plan is a new means of demonstrating how we are making a difference for you, delivering real value for money services. Steps should be taken to mitigate the visual impact of any such installations. Development proposals are required to demonstrate how they will mitigate and adapt to climate change and help deliver radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and generate renewable and/or low carbon energy proportionate to their scale and type. Food and Drink Uses: Locational Constraints (including schools), 31. Call for Sites outside of consultation periods. This policy will be applied in consideration of both on and off-site issues, including impacts arising as a result of the transport of radioactive waste off site. Are located in areas identified as suitable for renewable energy development in the technical maps (to be included in the Appendices of the Local Plan); orb. Option 1 is viability on this means that the costs associated with this option have been tested through the Local Plan viability study. For the latest updates check our consultation page. Priority 2 Identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves. This policy must work in combination with other aspects of the plan and also changes likely to happen outside of planning. growth of South Gloucestershire up to 2027, incorporating spatial objectives, locational strategy, planning policies, and including the strategic sites and key social and physical infrastructure needed to support the development vision for South Gloucestershire. These should consider not only the individual effects of the proposals, but also any cumulative effects. About the council. The wider environmental benefits referred to in Clause 1b include carbon dioxide reduction. Our most important resource is our people, and we must maintain and build on our inclusive and supportive culture and working environment and positively promote equalities throughout everything we do. We also want to make sure that new development goes further to reducing the amount of carbon required to heat and run new homes by eventually replacing policy CS3 (Renewable and low carbon energy generation) and PSP6 (Onsite renewable and low carbon energy), with new further reaching standards, as we aim for zero carbon development. The Council declared a Climate Emergency on 17th July 2019, which included a pledge to provide the leadership to enable South Gloucestershire to become carbon neutral by 2030, and also to enable our communities to achieve 100% clean energy across all sectors. f) The most appropriate and robust materials, street furniture and finishes have been utilised, to create a sense of place which has variety and interest, while not adding clutter within the street scene.

The emerging policy on radioactive waste is also of particular relevance to the development of a masterplan for decommissioning. With advances in technology, this is becoming more achievable for most people. The Council will also explore how a percentage reduction in car parking provision could allow a percentage increase in cycle parking provision, however the details of how this may work are yet to be determined. Mechanisms would also need to be put in place to allow the introduction of additional mitigation or the adjustment of approved measures, so that unanticipated consequences can be addressed. South Gloucestershire is a great place to live, work and visit. At this stage, the intention is for all of these policies to be contained within a single Local Plan Document. As with any development proposal, applicants are expected to engage with the local community and seek to generate support and address any concerns highlighted. Pay it. It remains common for developers, in undertaking a context appraisal, to attempt to justify further indistinct development by referring to usually 20th century post-war development of indistinct quality nearby and/or claiming that the locality lacks distinction by way of the variety of ages and styles of development that exist in the area. Passivhaus is an international energy standard for buildings. Development within Existing Residential Curtilages, including Extensions and New Dwellings, 36. Key drivers informing consideration of new planning policies and approaches include: As we begin considering what policies might need to eventually replace the Core Strategy and PSP, we start by discussing the range of issues facing South Gloucestershire. Our Compact with the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Parish and Town Council Charter will be complemented by a new set of Keep it Local working arrangements, an enhanced way of working with the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to identify better ways to deliver services to improve the lives of local people. Renewable heat technologies include air, ground or water source heat pumps, micro-heat networks using ground source heat pumps with shared ground arrays, and biomass. It will address the issues set out in the table above, providing where appropriate the Councils initial views on constraints and where possible potential planning, design, mitigation, legacy and community benefit opportunities that align with wider strategies, objectives and policies for the Council area. A planning designation of Parking zones, for certain urban parts of the authority, to indicate where reduced parking provision may be appropriate, would be progressed as part of this approach. 2. We recognise that future development must support our climate change commitments and our Climate Emergency Action Plans set out how we will work with our partners and residents to ensure growth is achieved whilst achieving these ambitions: In this way, we will ensure South Gloucestershire is a place where people respect the natural world, historic and cultural environment and live low carbon, sustainable and healthy lifestyles. At least one parking space per dwelling must have active charging provision, with the remainder passive provision. Mineral Extraction, Working and Restoration, 11. Future stages of the Local Plan 2020 will put forward a more comprehensive set of draft policies. Overall health in South Gloucestershire is good and improving, and life expectancy is higher than the national average. These targets will most likely be exceeded in practice, and the Council expects on-site measures to be maximised as far as possible. 47.1% of schools rated Outstanding or Good in March 2020 compared with 35.3% in the previous year. The Council would expect NNB related applications to comprise an integrated, navigable suite of documentation including well defined proposals and parameters defining the proposed development, and including clearly identified mitigation, monitoring and management plans demonstrating how all relevant matters identified in the table of Themes, Issues and Constraints have been taken into account and addressed. Please note: at this stage, the existing policies set out in the Core Strategy, Policies Sites and Places Plan and Joint Waste Core Strategy will remain in place, and will be used to determine planning applications. The South Gloucestershire planners have been clear that government-set targets for housebuilding in the area CANNOT be met by development in urban areas and . Retrofitting buildings is significantly more disruptive, costly and time-consuming than designing buildings to be net zero carbon in the first place. Although these changes are not reflected in this current draft, the council will continue to review the impact of the Order on the proposed schedules and will reflect updates where necessary in later drafts of this policy. Council Plan 2020 - 2024 | BETA - South Gloucestershire Council Council Plan 2020 - 2024 This document sets out our plans for achieving the best for our residents and their communities.. The South Gloucestershire policies map is an interactive map that displays the policies of the development plan. 3) MovementSafe, convenient, sustainable and direct movement between areas of the district is an integral part of well-designed places. Consequently, Option 2, policy which requires residential development to reduce carbon emissions from regulated and unregulated energy use by 100%, is also presented. By providing an early view on potential constraints and opportunities, this will inform the preparation of an evidence base to underpin the preparation of an SPD, the development of positive and sustainable development proposals for the NNB and its associated development.
